` T all whom. it y'muy concern.:

Be itknown that I, WILLIAM L. OoHs, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough ofManhatten, in the county and State ofv New` Y rk, have invented a new and Improved Polishing and Cleaning Mittem of which the following is a full, clear, and exact vdescription.

This invention relates to cleaning and polishing devices 'and particularly to an improved cleaning and polishing mitten which `may be worn as an article ofclothing to keep the hands warm whenever desired or may be used as one or two polishing articles.

The` object of the `invention is to provide an improved combination` article which may readily be used las an article ofl clothing, as one cleaning and polishing member or as a double cleaning and `polishing member.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved vmitten structure which may be quickly and readily connected and disconnected so that it may be used as a mitten for keeping `the hands warm at one time and used as a pair of cleaning and polishing members at another time.

`In the accompanying drawing- Fidure l is a plan view of a mitten in assemblled condition.

` Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical section `throujrh- Figure 1,`rhe same being on van enlarge scale. y l I 'y Figure 3 is aplan View of one-half of the `mitten shown in Figure l, the same being viewed fromthe interior. 1

Figure 4 is a view similar to `Figure 3 but f half of the mitten, with ed form of strap. p

Referring to the accompanying drawing numerals 1 and 2 indicate the two sections of a mitten, each section of which is pr vided with a body 3 merging into a thumb member 4. Each section is provided with a stra beneath which the fingers of the han "maybe `placed when the section is to showinfg the other i be usadas a cleaning or polishing article.

The straps 5 may be held in place by any suitable means, as for instance, lines of stitching, said straps being formed of fabric,rubber, leatheror any other desired materia 1 In Figure 4 of the drawing, a. strap 5, functions in a similar manner to strap 5 shown in Figure 3 but extends over the en-I tire body of the glove so that it may act as adhering tained together a coveringmember for thehand when half of the glove is used as a mitten. It'will also be evident that the thumb may be eliminated if desired and yet the vdevice function properly for cleanin or even for covering the hands. The bo y 3 of the respective sections of the mitten, is shown in the drawing as formed from sheepskm with the wool V7 vstill adhering thereto but if preferred,

canvas or other material might be used with an artilicialwool or ieecing connected therewith. Ordinarily, are made from sheepskin with the Wool still thereto as the same is comparatively inexpensive and also very veffectively operates in cleaning and polishm biles,l furniture or other articles while at the same time presenting an extremely desirable structure for cold weather.'- 4

the parts of `the lmitten autonf- The sections 1v and 2 ,are connectedftey gether 1n any desi-redmanner provided the connection may engaged fromtiine to time. Intheaccompanying drawing, suitable snap fasteners 8 are provided whereby the sections may 'be snapped together and held in position to function as a mitten and also may be readily pulled apart without injury to the sections or the fastenin means. l

If desired, t e sections could be mainas shown in Figures l and 2 and opposite` sides used while 1n that posibe` readily engaged-'and disy tion. For instance, one-side couldbe used- 4for applying cleanin matter `and the other used merely in po ishing. However, in operating on. vcomparatively large surfaces, as for instance, large-pieces of furniture or automobile bodies, 1t is desired tense` both hands during the` 'cleaning and polishing.

prlsing a complete nutten structure formed v1n two independent parts', means for-disen-l gageably connecting said parts together, and means connected to each are used separate 2. A cleaning and polishing mitten, comprising a mitten structure formed in two parts, each part having a body of leather with the natural wool projecting from one l. A cleaning and polishingmitten, come4 part for forming a retamlng strap for the hands when the parts 95 operation and, consequently, the parts are@ 5 the parts are surface of the leather, means for disengageably connecting said parts together, and

meansv presenting retaining structures for holding the respective parts on a hand when being used separately.
